Walkers, like runners, should also focus on their pace so that they can pace themselves in the race. Many first-time marathon runners use the Jeff Galloway training plan which mixes running with walking breaks...a great plan for those that want to run portions of the race. Below are some tips and ideas for marathon runners...best of luck...sounds like a great club. - Mike<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.the-fitness-motivator.com/marathon-tips.html http://www.the-fitness-motivator.com/marathon-training-plan.html The foundation of the training plans should be the same: build up your mileage for the marathon.
